Fresh Corn with Prosciutto Basil Butter

Steps

1. In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool. Add the remaining butter to the shallot and stir until smooth. Mix in the prosciutto and basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Cook the corn in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes; drain and cool. Cut the corn off the cobs and transfer to a saucepan.  Add the flavored butter and heat until melted and heated through.
